Since this is my first week of school I had a little extra time on my hands, so here is a chapter a little sooner than I thought. Enjoy, and review!!!

Chapter 24

Dejavou

Saihrena had stopped crying after an hour of sobs. She didn't have it in her anymore. "Will Jack come for us?" She whispered her voice too raw to do anything else.

"You know he will Saihrena, he loves you. And even if he didn't come, which he will, Jonathon, Bandit and Will would. But I think it will most likely be with one of Jack's plans," Elizabeth said.

"You think?" Rakasha asked. She was lying down next to Saihrena comforting her, Liz was on the other side doing the same.

"Yes," was all Liz said.

"How long?" Rena croaked.

"Well they have to make it to Tortuga to get the Pearl, so a few days are lost there. But the Black Pearl is the fastest ship in the Caribbean so he should catch up with us in a few weeks," Liz reassured.

"But that's only if he knows where we're going," Rakasha said fatalistically. Liz glared at her over Saihrena's head. Here she was trying to reassure the girl and Rakasha and her grave mood were undoing her at every turn. Rakasha looked at her apologetically, but Saihrena didn't even seem to notice. She sat up and looked at the bundle of silk on the floor.

"Gabriella?" She croaked. The other girls looked at her oddly. She stood and walked to the bundle slowly. She reached down and pulled the silks away to reveal a pale and sickly looking girl. "Gabby? She whispered. Her eyes were closed and she was laying as still as the dead.

"What's wrong?" Rakasha asked as she moved to them. She gasped as she saw the state her friend was in. Saihrena knelt next to Gabby and felt her forehead, she was so cold.

"What's wrong with her?" Rena asked as Kasha checked for her pulse.

"I don't know. She's alive but her heartbeat is so slow and soft that I don't know if she will make it," Kasha whispered. Saihrena had had enough. She stood and walked to the door, after trying to open it and finding it locked she began to bang and scream. Her friend needed help and she'd be damned if she wouldn't get it.


There she was, Jack had missed her almost as much as he missed Saihrena. The Black Pearl floated in the harbor of Tortuga, beckoning to him. There was enough room for him to pull their small commandeered vessel right up to the dock. Once he was finished him and the rest of the pirates pulled out the gangplank and then raced down it. Jack flew to his ship that was docked a little ways away from him. She was so magnificent, how he had missed her. He sauntered up the gangplank and onto his ship. There were five men on watch, all of whom saw him approach and stood waiting.

"Cap'n, what're ye doin 'ere? Ana Maria asked

"We wasn't spose te see ye fer anotha two weeks." Gibbs yelled.

"Welcome back Cap'n," his cabin boy Jecob squeaked. The rest just smiled and clapped him on the back.

"Where're the girls?" Ana asked suspiciously.

"That's why were 'ere," Jack said, motioning to the four men behind him.

"They were kidnapped," Jonathon growled.

"We need te gather the men and make ready te sail," Jack ordered. "Gibbs, Ana, Jonathon and Bandit ye come with me, the rest o ye scaberdous dogs make ready te sail. When we return I wanna lift the anchor and be gone." Jack turned and flew down the plank and into Tortuga. Ana was right behind him with Gibbs, Jonathon and Bandit following quietly.

"We should split up Cap'n, they'll be easier te find that way," Ana said at his heels.

"Good idea Ana, Jon take the taverns by the docks, Gibbs ye check the ones te the North, Ana the South, Bandit go east and I'll go west. Meet at the Pearl in two hours, go," Jack ordered and took off to search his taverns. They all split up and went on their way. They had to hurry. Jack walked to his favorite tavern, the Faithful Bride, and strode in. He saw four of his men playing cards. Thankfully they didn't look too drunk.

"Hanner, One Eye, Cotton, Jib, 'ere now," he yelled over the sounds of fighting. They all looked up and a smile broke over their face. They dropped their cards and walked to their Captain, he was unhappy to see the walk was more of a drunken swagger than a walk.

"Cap'n, why er ye 'ere? Hanner asked.

"The girls been kidnapped, get te the Pearl now. We leave in two hours and I want ye as sober as possible. Gather yer things, any crewmember ye see send em te the Pearl, go," he yelled and turned to leave.

"Captain, Captain," Jib called.

"Ye?" He asked.

"Some of them are in the Tanner's house playing cards," he said.

"Thank ye Jib, that'll 'elp," Jack smiled and left to the Tanner's residence. He reached it fairly quickly, it was incredibly close to the Faithful Bride, and entered without knocking. He walked in and looked around, the place looked empty.

"Tanner," he yelled.

"'oo wan's te know?" He heard.

"Cap'n Jack Sparrow."

"Captain?" He heard, and then he saw six of his men flood into the room. "What are you doing here Sir?" His newest member Johnson asked.

"Girls been kidnapped, Pearl leaves in two hours with or without ye. Gather yer things and be ready te make way," he said, repeating himself. It was getting rather annoying.

"Yes sir," Johnson said, saluting. The man always made Jack smile.

"Yer a good lad," he smirked. "Now all o ye get movin," he growled. They ran into the room they had just vacated, obviously grabbing what money they had left, and ran out the door. Jack smirked and left, the Tanner staring at him as he did so. Jack sighed looking down the block at all the taverns. Fifteen crew found, only thirty left to find. Tortuga had once seemed like a haven to him, now it was a death sentence. He just wanted to find his men and leave. It would be a long day indeed.


Saihrena had grown tired of banging on the door after an hour, that's when Rakasha began banging and screaming like a banshee.

"She's bloody hurt you pieces of animal waste," she screamed through the door. "Bring a doctor if you want her to live you bloody swabs." After a half an hour or so of screaming this over and over the door finally burst open. Rakasha was smacked in the head and fell back.

"Serve's you right you wench, scaring my crew like that," a man said in Turkish. Saihrena gasped, she had hoped they were wrong, that they weren't being taken to Surnan, but she had been right. Huske was standing in the doorway yelling at Rakasha. He had been their eunuch in the harem, he had served Gabriella, Rakasha, Manata, Dora, and herself.

"Huske," she growled. She wondered idly how he had gotten a ship.

"Princess Saihrena, how are you? Happy to be rescued?" He purred.

"Rescued, more like kidnapped you bloody knave. I thought you were our friend, but you turned out to be nothing but a lowlife piece of animal waste, just as Rakasha called you a few moments ago," she whispered dangerously.

"Yes, and why exactly was she screaming such, that hardly befits a wife of the Sultan."

"Gabriella is sick, and Rakasha, Gabriella and I are no wives of Surnan and never will we be," Saihrena said. Elizabeth had gone to Rakasha to see if she was alright by this time. Rakasha sat up and rubbed her head giving Huske an evil look.

"Sick you say?" Huske asked ignoring her other comment.

"Yes you fool, look at her." He did, he felt her forehead then took her pulse.

"Hmm, I suppose she needs a doctor," he mumbled as he left the room, closing the door behind him. They watched the door for fifteen minutes before finally it burst open and two men walked in. They picked up Gabriella and left. Saihrena followed them out of the room and spotted Huske speaking with someone. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw who it was.

"Ah, lady Saihrena," Commodore Norrington said walking to her and kissing her hand. "How lovely to see you again."

"You are part of this kidnapping?" She whispered, and fort he first time noticed the Dauntless sitting next to the ship she was on. Gabriella was being carried across the gangplank and on to the larger ship.

"Why you are hardly being kidnapped my lady, you are being taken home," he insisted. She shook her head, tears in her eyes.

"No I am being taken against my will to a place where I wish never to see again," she whispered. His eyes opened in shock.

"But what of your husband-" he started but she cut him off.

"I have no husband nor have I ever been married in the eyes of God, Commodore. The man that claimed to be my husband bought me from slavers after I had been kidnapped the first time. Jack Sparrow rescued me and gave me a home on the Pearl after my brother denied who I was and tried to kill me. I was preparing for two of my friends marriage when we were kidnapped, along with Elizabeth Swann, and are now being forced back to the Sultan's brother where he will force us to be in his harem. If that is not kidnapping I do not know what is." The Commodore's eyes were wide in shock as she spoke. Huske came over and glared at her, pulling the Commodore away from her. She turned and walked back to her cabin.

"Kasha, Liz, be ready to run, come with me," she whispered and they followed her out. The Commodore didn't know what was really going on, but perhaps if they escaped onto his ship he would help them. She prayed he would.
